Merge Type

• Union: Combine two or more shapes into one.
• Combine: Removes overlaps to form a new shape.
• Intersect: Obtain a shape from overlapping areas.
• Subtract: Removes overlapping parts of one shape from another.
• Fragment: Divide each of the intersections into different shapes.

A compound figure is made up of two or more simple geometric shapes.

With time and practice you will begin to recognize all the forms that make up things, and you will even notice different ways of getting the same result.

Use different shapes of various sizes and positions in conjunction with merge types to create unique shapes.

Identify the elements that make up an object and find a way to create each of them individually. I recommend having a sketch or a clear idea before starting.
